Abstract (en)

[origin: EP2230345A2] A multi-needle sewing machine (1) is provided with a needle bar case (21) that is movable to the right and to the left. Six needle bars (31) are lined up on the frame (24) that is provided in a needle bar case (21). A needle bar case moving mechanism (40) moves the needle bar case (21) in a direction in which the six needle bars (31) are lined up. Sewing is performed by using one of the six needle bars (31) that is positioned straight above a needle drop position. On the right side of the frame (24), an image sensor holding mechanism (51) that holds an image sensor (52) is provided such that the image sensor (52) is aligned with the six needle bars (31). The image sensor (52) is moved to a position that is straight above the needle drop position by moving the needle bar case (21).
